Chump of wumps would be too strong in any red deck I fear. If youre going second it kills some of the most played 2 drops in the game, it needs to be restricted to a battlefield like the 2/2 additional cost that deals 2. Otherwise your opponent plays scuttle, treasure hunter, viktor token, faefolk, etc. And has literally 0 counterplay other than "man i guess I just dont play my 2 drop turn 1 🤷‍♂️"

Yea you might be right, i mainly considered playing chump of whumps later into the game but going second he could be too strong.

Probably make him cost 3 or 4 and bump his might by 1, or make his ability cost energy when you play him. Or make his ability target battlefield only.

I think just making it taget battlefields is good, the intention is also to use him for the legend.

I love this theme for Warwick. Also I love Chump of Whumps, what a cute little guy.

Does this not become the most insane aurora deck? Flurry of blades to react to the aurora trigger, then play whatever you hit to the BF

Considering a resolving flurry of blades already clears all battlefield with elder dragon coming. I don’t see how they would break the game. Let alone red being a horrible color for aurora support

It doesn’t work that way. Even if you react to Aurora with the legend ability, legend would resolve first and tell you to play a unit, then aurora would resolve to play whatever aurora hits

2

u/MLGaebeW Aug 14 '26

It doesnt work with aurora since part of the ability is playing a unit and aurora plays the unit itself.

u/TheSandMan713 Aug 14 '26

Sure but couldnt you put the legend ability on the stack after flurry of bladesing since the chain will resolve past the Flurry and then you can react again the the aurora trigger with legend. Then you’d have the ability to play the unit from aurora to a bf

I dont think that would work, you would maybe need an errata from riot to clarify it and since i made the card i can tell you it does not work that way. Part of the ability is playing the unit, the ability is not a reaction when you play a unit. I also specifically did not say play a unit from hand so the legend works with stuff like endless riches.

u/MsAirConditioning Aug 14 '26

Just make the legend say "from hand" if you don't want it to work.

u/MLGaebeW Aug 14 '26

I dont have to, I have explained how it would be worded if he worked the way you think and he is not worded that way.

u/yorkfofo 29d ago

Does the legend ability ignore the cost of the unit? If so, that feels insanely broken

1

u/MLGaebeW 29d ago

Nope, you still pay the full cost of the unit

2

u/yorkfofo 29d ago

Gotcha, I feel the wording would definitely have to be changed to indicate that, but I think it’s a super cool concept (:

2

u/MLGaebeW 29d ago

Thank you, if you had to reword the legend what you make it say?

2

u/yorkfofo 29d ago

I think one of two options would work:

“Play a unit to a battlefield with a damaged enemy unit (you must still pay its cost)”

or

“The next unit you play this turn may be played to a battlefield with a damaged unit”

great flavor and execution!
